Chapter 975


    Charlie had never been a good person anyway.


    He would only try to save someone if he pitied them.


    However, the premise was that the other party should be able to differentiate between the good and


    bad.


    However, if the other party did not know what was good for himself, then he would not allow himself


    to b e snubbed despite his good intentions.


    Since some people were so stubborn, then it would be best for them to experience misfortune for


    themselves.


    Anyway, they had made the decision on their own and they would not be able to push the me on


    anyone else for their misfortunes in the future.


    Therefore, Charlie deliberately changed the topic. At this time, he immediately said, "If you want to


    talk about making money, then I think that you should go back and talk about it in private. The


    reason why we''re here today is because we want to treat Mrs.


    Lewis to dinner. We haven’t even ordered any food after sitting here for so long.”


    Max immediately smiled as he said, "Come,e. Let’s hand the menu over to Mrs. Lewis so she


    can order some dishes that she likes!"


    Mrs. Lewis hurriedly waved her hands before she said, "No need. No need. I''ve never been to such


    a good


    ce before, so I don’t know what dishes to order here anyway. You young people should order the


    dishes instead.”


    Max took the menu in his hand before he smiled and said, "I''ll order the dishes then!”


    After that, he called the waiter toe over immediately before he said, "Come! I want to ce our


    order now.”

    The waiter came over immediately. After that, Max quickly ordered the dishes. He was very


    scheming at this time and he only ordered all of the expensive dishes.


    The first dish that he ordered was a premium abalone for everyone. This dish alone had cost $


    1,888.00 per person.


    When Joey caught a glimpse of the menu, he could not help but exim out loud, "Oh, Brother


    Max! This dish i s just too expensive. This dish alone would end up costing more than twenty


    thousand dors! We...we can’t afford this!”


    Max proposed that he would be paying half of the bill for the dinner tonight. After that, everyone else


    would still have to split and pay for the remaining half of the bill for the dinner. In other words,


    everyone would still have to pay for the dinner tonight even though it would be slightly cheaper.


    However, this meal would be too expensive. Even if Max offered to pay half of the bill for the dinner


    tonight, the remaining half of the bill would be very burdensome for everyone else. 2


    Max looked at Joey with a look of disgust before he said, "It''s no wonder why your future mother-in-


    law insists on getting a high dowry. Just look at the expression on your face now. You''re already this


    frightened when we are simply having a meal together. Your mother-inw must be asking for a


    high dowry so her daughter wouldn’t suffer any grievances in the future. What if you were actually


    having dinner with your future mother-inw tonight? What would people think of you if you’re so


    scared to even order any dishes at all?" 6


    Joey looked a little embarrassed and depressed as he said, "Brother Max, I don''t have as much


    money as you do. To be honest, in an effort to save money, I’m only spending about one hundred


    dors on my living expenses every week. I would only drink cold water and eat some steamed


    buns in thepany dormitory every day. I can''t even bear to spend any extra money to buy an


    electric kettle..."


    Max replied coldly, "It''s no wonder why you’re still so poor. How can you possibly make any money


    with your kind of mentality and consumption philosophy? Who would ever be poorer than you?" 5


    After pausing for a moment, Max said again, "What is money anyway? You have to spend the


    money for it to be called money. What is money if it isn''t spent? It''s only paper in the wallet and a


    series of numbers in the bank ount. Besides that, I''ve already agreed to help you to make some


    money. If you can''t even afford to pay for this meal today, then I am really sorry but I don''t want you


    as my friend." 6


    When Joey heard this, he quickly kept his mouth shut. 1


    He has already regarded Max as his benefactor and he would not want to disobey him in any way. i


    Otherwise, there would be no hope for him in this life anymore.


    The other people also felt that Max was being too extravagant when he was ordering the dishes.


    However, after listening to him scolding Joey, everyone felt too embarrassed to say anything


    anymore. 1


    After all, Max was going to pay for half of the bill for dinner tonight. After that, they would be splitting


    the remaining half of the bill among so many of them. If they said that they could not afford it, they


    would not b e able to save their own faces at all. 1


    At this time, Max said to the waiter, "Bring us a lobster that is about five catties!” 1


    The waiter nodded before he said, "Sir, our premium lobsters cost $688.00 per catty. Is that okay?”
